How to read this book

Nationalism, national identity and ethnicity are such complex social phenomena that academic researchers worldwide are divided in even defining these terms. Therefore the first two chapters are dedicated to definitions, so that readers will have a clear understanding of the relevant theoretical framework before Ukrainian and Russian nationalisms are discussed. Considering that a lot of the content in such discussions is of mostly academic value, readers interested in the actual nationalist narratives can go straight to chapter 4 and 5 and the case studies on Russia and Ukraine. Professionals who are interested in the security implications of paramilitary movements with a nationalist ideology (i.e., Cossacks) as well as potential conflict resolution can skip straight to Chapter 5. Social scientists interested in the actual fieldwork methodology, data collection and findings might want to start reading from the Appendixes 1 & 2.
